Käräjämäki-Osmanmäki, Iron Age grave field in Eura, Finland.

The archaeological site extends along a 400-meter sand ridge near the Eurajoki river, featuring over 200 burial depressions from different periods.

The burial ground shows continuous use from 550 to 1200 CE, containing both cremation graves from the Migration Period and traditional burials from the Viking Age.

A circle of court stones marks the northern section of Käräjämäki, with two cremation burials from the Merovingian period found in its center.

The Finnish National Board of Antiquities maintains the site as a public area, with informational signs explaining the archaeological findings throughout the location.

The Swordsman's Grave contains weapons, including a sword and shield parts, along with a yellow whetstone considered a symbol of leadership status.
